THE BIRDS!!!!! seriously, i'd never seen so many birds before.

rockin' the tower bridge
me at tower bridge!!

that is what it looks like to leave the westminster tube station.

so far, london is going very well although i do miss home. the food here does not cut it. i want wingz, wegmans, and livingston bagel. haha.

i've done a lot of sightseeing over the past week. on saturday we took a walk with bill, the program manager. i saw big ben, westminster abbey, downing street, what's left of whitehall palace, london bridge, tower bridge, and tower of london.

on monday afternoon josh and i decided to go inside the house of lords, which was kind of disappointing. however, i was thrilled to see that the men were wearing wigs. wigs are nice. josh and i also visited the churchill museum/the cabinet war rooms, and went into westminster abbey. i stood on top of george fredric handel, charles dickens, AND winston churchill. hellz yeah mothafuckaz!

tonight i saw "coram boy," making my first trip to the london theatre. it was a very good play, although it was disturbing at some points. the set was elaborate and amazing.

i've been keeping busy. i love city life, though. i'm sure it'll get old at some point but i like the rush and i like walking everywhere. it makes me feel more proactive.
